Working with Joe Simons was the best decision I made for my Federal case in California. A process that took over 3 years from start to finish Joe walked me through each process. Constantly working with the prosecutor to get me a better deal all the way down to Probation. Joe is up front and honest with you from the beginning on what to expect and that made each moment easier to handle. Even flying out to California multiple times I knew I was in good hands. Joe was always there to answer any questions and even after sentencing he is still helping with technical aspects of probation. I 100% recommend Joe Simons and his Law firm. They will have your back throughout the whole process.

Efficient, clear and highly professional in our closing. Having been through a number of real estate transactions across the country, I can honestly rank this experience at the top of the list. David and his team were spot on from beginning to end.

Real Estate transactions can sometimes be complex and intimidating. Fortunately, I have been lucky enough to work with David Datz and his team on all my real estate transactions over the past decade. I can’t imagine working with another firm. The team at David Marshall Datz PC is professional, thorough, and extremely competent. As I have moved through each of my real estate transactions (which include new purchases, corporate LLCs, and refinancing) they have given me helpful and valuable advice. In each closing, they are thorough and carful… explaining the documents as I sign them so that I clearly understand each step of the transaction. I have recommended David and his firm to my family and friends because I know anyone would be in good hands with David and his team.

David Datz is by far the most knowledgeable, service oriented, thorough, and trustworthy lawyer that I have ever worked with. I have retained David's services in my professional life as a loan officer to do conveyancing for my company as well as referring my clients to him to represent them in the sale or purchase of their properties. Every client that I referred to his office was not only satisfied with his services, but actually thanked me for referring them to him. I have also retained his services for my personal real estate transactions.
During the course of my professional career as a loan officer, I unfortunately had to use different lawyers for the conveyancing of properties. David Datz's office was superior in every way compared to the others. If he said that something was going to be done, it was done without any prompting. If a problem arose, he worked hard to make it appear seemless. He never focused on who or what caused the problem, but in finding a solution to it in the quickest manner possible.
I would highly recommend him to anyone.

I've hired Ms Horwich to help me on numerous traffic offenses. I'm not exaggerating but for every case I have ever hired her for, we were always victorious. "knock on wood", but this woman is amazing. If you're in a situation and need a lawyer for traffic defense or any other areas she may practice, you can't go wrong with this lady. She's good and will work hard for you.

Attorney Horwich oversaw my personal injury case, working with another attorney who she managed. They were able to more than double the initial offer and worked diligently to get the case resolved through very difficult circumstances due to
COVID-19. Great work, highly recommended.

I hired Leslie as a first-time home buyer. Neither the seller or I had real estate agents, so Leslie handled all the details, starting with the P&S and everything else through the closing. She was knowledgeable and very responsive in answering my questions (I had a lot). I place a high value on customer service, and Leslie definitely took care of me. I felt comfortable and confident that my interests were well represented throughout the process. The quality of her service far exceeded what she charged me for it, and I am extremely grateful for a smooth and easy closing. Really, I can't say enough good things about her! Truly an outstanding professional. Would definitely recommend.

Leslie is great! She takes the time to make sure you understand everything and is responsive to questions and concerns (even after you've asked a ton of questions). She clearly knows everything there is to know about the mortgage business/home buying process. She goes out of her way to make sure you're comfortable with the process. She's also creative and comes up with solutions to meet your needs. You can expect nothing but the best from Leslie Sammon!!

I was referred to Joe by an attorney to raise money to buy out a partner of mine in a commercial real estate deal gone bad. We got that done, and quickly. That was 6 years ago. Since then he has handled a commercial refinance, a loan workout, a short sale, a commercial eviction and a lease assignment for the sale of a business of a tenant of mine that needed to get done in 1 week. In each matter Joe was dedicated and professional with very successful outcomes on matters that were critical to me. His fees have been more than reasonable.

Neil handled my Chapter 7 bankruptcy and I found him to be highly skilled, quick, and efficient. Additionally, my emails to him were always answered within minutes. Not only does Neil have good technical skills, he is also warm and compassionate, and we quickly established a good rapport with each other. With Neil, I never felt ashamed to be in the unfortunate situation of having to file bankruptcy. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Lucas is my go-to real estate attorney that I use on all of my transactions. I have been a licensed real estate agent for about seven years and I can confidently say that I will continue to use him for all of mine and my client's real estate needs. What sets Lucas apart from other attorneys is his responsiveness, tenacity, reassurance and fairness. I love introducing my clients to Lucas because I know they are in excellent, capable hands, and that should any issues arise in our transaction (usually the case), Lucas will be an unwavering advocate for their best interests, but will also deal fairly and in good faith with all other parties.

What a Real Estate Lawyer Can Do for You
A real estate lawyer provides legal assistance in transactions and disputes involving property, including residential and commercial real estate. Whether you're buying, selling, leasing, or developing property, a real estate attorney can help ensure that your transactions are legally sound and your rights are protected. They review contracts, perform due diligence, resolve disputes, and provide legal representation in negotiations and litigation involving property matters.
Real estate lawyers are crucial in safeguarding your investment by ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal real estate laws, as well as protecting you from potential legal pitfalls related to property ownership and transactions.
When Should I Hire a Real Estate Lawyer?
Hiring a real estate lawyer is beneficial in various scenarios, including:
- Buying or selling property: When navigating complex real estate contracts, it’s advisable to have a lawyer review and ensure that the terms are favorable and legal.
- Commercial property transactions: For leasing, purchasing, or selling commercial properties, a lawyer can help manage the intricate legal aspects of such transactions.
- Zoning or land use issues: If you're planning to develop property or change its use, a real estate lawyer can guide you through zoning laws and land use regulations.
- Resolving property disputes: For boundary disputes, title issues, or disagreements over property rights, a lawyer can help mediate or litigate the matter.
- Foreclosures or evictions: If you're dealing with foreclosure or managing a tenant eviction, legal representation ensures that the process adheres to local laws and protects your interests.
- Title and deed issues: Lawyers can help clear title disputes, ensure the legitimacy of property deeds, and handle transfers of ownership.
What Does a Real Estate Lawyer Do?
A real estate lawyer provides a range of services to help with property transactions and disputes, including:
- Contract drafting and review: Ensuring that purchase agreements, leases, and other contracts are legally binding, fair, and protect your interests.
- Title search and clearance: Conducting a thorough title search to ensure that the property has no legal claims or liens that could affect ownership.
- Facilitate closing: Managing the closing process in real estate transactions, including reviewing final documents and ensuring that everything is in order before the transfer of ownership.
- Resolve disputes: Handling legal disputes related to property ownership, boundaries, zoning, or tenants.
- Assist in financing: Reviewing loan agreements and mortgage documents to ensure the terms are fair and legally sound.
- Zoning and land use advice: Guiding clients through the complexities of zoning laws and building regulations for property development or renovation projects.
How Are Real Estate Lawyers Paid?
Real estate lawyers typically charge for their services in the following ways:
- Flat fee: Many real estate transactions, such as reviewing a sales contract or assisting with a closing, are charged on a flat-fee basis.
- Hourly rates: If a lawyer is handling complex disputes or litigation, they may charge by the hour. Hourly rates can vary significantly based on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Contingency fees: In rare cases, such as property disputes or claims for damages, a lawyer may work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win or settle the case.
- Retainer: For ongoing legal support, some clients may pay a retainer, which is an upfront fee used as a deposit for future legal services.
It's important to clarify the fee structure with your attorney before hiring them to avoid any surprises.
How Much Does a Real Estate Lawyer Cost?
The cost of a real estate lawyer varies based on the complexity of the matter, the location of the property, and the lawyer’s experience. Key factors that affect pricing include:
- Type of transaction or issue: Simple tasks, like contract reviews, typically cost less than handling a complex property dispute or litigation.
- Experience and location: More experienced lawyers or those in high-demand areas, like urban centers, often charge higher rates.
- Billing structure: Lawyers may charge a flat fee for basic services like document review or hourly for more time-intensive work such as disputes or litigation.
Flat fees for straightforward services like closing assistance may range from $500 to $1,500.
Hourly rates can range from $150 to $400 or more, depending on the attorney’s experience and location.
Always discuss fees upfront to understand the overall cost of the legal service you're receiving.
Top Questions to Ask a Real Estate Lawyer
Before hiring a real estate lawyer, ask the following questions to ensure they are the right fit for your legal needs:
-
What experience do you have with real estate law?
Ensure the lawyer has experience in the type of real estate transaction or dispute you’re facing, whether residential, commercial, or development-related. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for services - whether it's a flat fee, hourly rate, or retainer - so there are no surprises later on. -
How long will the process take?
Especially important for real estate transactions or disputes with deadlines, ask for a general estimate of how long the process will last. -
Have you handled cases similar to mine?
Experience with similar transactions or disputes can give you confidence that the lawyer knows how to handle your case. -
Will you handle my case personally, or will it be passed to another attorney?
Confirm who will be handling the bulk of your case work, especially in larger firms where junior lawyers may take on some responsibilities. -
Can you provide references?
Speaking with past clients can give you insight into the lawyer's experience and how they handle cases.
How to Check the Credibility of a Real Estate Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a reputable real estate lawyer, take these steps:
- Check with the state bar association: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with no disciplinary actions on their record.
- Read online reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on legal directories and platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell to see what past clients have said.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should have past clients willing to share their experiences.
- Review their track record and expertise: Look at the lawyer’s website or LinkedIn profile for information about their experience in real estate law and any relevant cases they’ve handled.
- Membership in professional organizations: Lawyers who are members of respected legal or real estate organizations, like the American Bar Association’s Real Property Division, often signal credibility and expertise.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make your first meeting with a real estate lawyer productive, you should prepare the following materials:
- Relevant property documents: Bring purchase agreements, lease contracts, mortgage documents, zoning permits, or any other paperwork related to your case.
- A summary of the issue or transaction: Be ready to explain the situation, whether it's a property dispute, contract negotiation, or development issue.
- Questions about the legal process: Prepare a list of questions about how the lawyer will handle your case and what steps are involved.
- Financial documents or loan agreements: If the case involves financing or a mortgage, bring any related documents for the lawyer to review.
- Your goals and timeline: Be clear about what outcome you're hoping for, and if there are any deadlines that need to be considered, such as closing dates or legal filings.
By coming prepared, you can ensure that your consultation is efficient and informative, allowing you to assess whether the lawyer is the right fit for your real estate needs.
